Nineteenth Century English Pewter Ale Measure
£40Nineteenth Century English Pewter Ale Measure
An early 19th Century Pewter Ale measure with spout. An articulated 'broken' style, double-volute handle with a notched thumb-piece and is set on a tapering 'pear shape' barrell with broad banding and a turned rim, all on a heavy ogee moulded base. An attractive Petwerers Mark indicates its manufacture in the environs of the City of London, specifically at the firms of Harton & Sons, Pewterers of High Holborn. The retrospective introduction of a 'Capacity Mark', notwithstanding, it likely dates from the mid 1860s. A hand-cut design on the outward-facing side of the vessell indicates the initials of an historic owner while underneath the name of the Royal Oak public house is extant.£40
